Ehlers playing 4 mins less a game than scheif and connor and only 2 pts back. Impressive
If.jomo.finds his shooting mojo then this team is off the charts
Great seeing fourth line averaging 11 mins not 6...
Names faceoff percentage at 50... sure seems like we found our 2c
Scheif and connor on pace for 50 ehlers 40 vilardi and nino 30
Advanced stats are not kind to demelo this year... wonder if we try miller on top pairing to give him a break
Names line is our best possession line
Ehlers is cashing in on the PP. After cashing in on San Jose. This is the most enjoyment I have ever got watching the Jets on the PP. Revamping the entire process with more movement has paid dividends, and these boards were a sounding board for that for so many years.
4th line is earning ice time and the matchups get harder with mrore ice time, but it definitely balances out the stamina of players around them that get less ice time as a consequence.
I think Namestnikov is doing alright he's the most reliable defensive player on that line. Faceoff improvement starts the line with the puck more.
De Melo is safe for now I think. Not sure Miller is a better defensive option he's made some giveaways under pressure. When Heinola comes back he will be looking to move the puck through him I suspect and he may get some more shots by having a defense partner who can sustain some offensive zone pressure.
Possession in terms of shots or zone time? Two different metrics.
